She's a Big 3 Year Old!!

In March, our baby, Lauren turned 3. She is definitely no longer a baby. She has to do everything that Emily does and more. It's amazing how much the second child picks up just from being around an older sibling. She is stubborn and independent and while those can be good qualities, they sure can make for some crazy confrontations. We are working on her patience and some days it seems to be getting better but she wants to do and be EVERYTHING NOW!!! It's exciting to see how she will develop and how much her strong personality shines through! That being said, she is the sweetest little friend, so good to younger kids and kids at school. Everybody likes to be around her and she's a natural born leader. She has the best laugh and loves to talk (just like her sister!)
For her birthday, all she asked for was a Mickey Mouse cake and a REAL alligator. So the first was pretty manageable, the second was a little tough. In the end, both worked out (although I found our that black frosting is next to impossible to make.) We went to Disneyland during the day for her birthday and went to dinner and had cake that night! Lauren with her semi-real alligator (thankfully she has a good imagination!)

The finished product!
A Very Happy Birthday Girl!!!
